Porcelain Knitted Bowl
This started life as one of my mother’s knitted dishcloths! She knits everything from exquisite and intricate jumpers to bats for Halloween, hedgehogs to house Cadbury’s cream eggs at Easter and in this case all of my dishcloths. I decided to experiment by coating one in porcelain. I gradually applied layer by layer until I felt it was robust enough to go in the kiln. The fibres burn away leaving the porcelain shell. It is light and delicate but perfectly usable. The inside has been glazed but I left the outside unglazed so that the patina shows through. I would use it for jewellery, canapes, threads, grapes…. just a few ideas!
18cm long x 15cm wide x 7cm high
